The Association for Teeth and Health aims to promote understanding of the connection between dental health and general health. The organization works actively to introduce a deductible scheme for dental treatment, which can help make dental health services more accessible to the population. In addition, they collaborate with Fagforbundet Young and other organizations to strengthen work on dental health and related issues.
Historically, Forbundet Tenner og helse has been an important player in the debate about public support for dental health in Norway. The organization has a perspective that stretches back to the early 20th century, when the first school dental clinic was opened in Kristiania in 1910. Over the years, they have contributed to a holistic approach to health, with particular emphasis on the importance of good dental health.
